For Saunders it comes down to the role he wants to play. At BYU he will have a

agree 100% - maybe we should get you on the line with RS to explain that to him!

I’d rather have Richie. Special motor. CP3 will find us a PG

Cooouuugs

CP3 is recruiting PGs for us?

A Drew Aitch

Apr 19, 1:10pm

Might be PG-13s

I'd rather have both

Yeah, if I had to choose, going with Saunders every time.

Richie, tell Popey to suck eggs. He will drop you like bad habit for next season when he can get someone more talented

CLCougar

Apr 19, 1:20pm

Exactly. Pope always tries to recruit over his current roster. Just ask Connor

VB2

Apr 19, 1:48pm

Oh how I wish someone Richie respects and trusts would tell him this. The problem is, it's possible

CLCougar

Apr 19, 1:59pm

This is 100% true

JKLCoug

"HIS current roster"? Sorry, but he walked into those 2 kids. That sorta shaving happens all the time w coaching changes

SinkingQuffa

Apr 19, 4:52pm

True but trading Harding for Seneca was a bad trade. To bad Harding wasn't

We needed a PF. Sux, but we had to take a chance w that.

SinkingQuffa

Seneca was a bust. Everything about him was overrated, especially his shooting

Crowd Factor

Pope knows the value of guy like Saunders

Nodak Cougar

Apr 19, 1:21pm

And he will walk away when he gets a better player-Saunders should realize that

PackerFan

Apr 19, 1:34pm

Pope always recruits over his current roster and runs off players if he thinks

VB2

Apr 19, 1:50pm

Pope may recruit over him the very next day.

Apr 19, 2:29pm

Pope is good at compartmentalizing. He will sing your praises w/hyperbole & then

Forzaitalia

Saunders is great for a team like BYU, but he will not be what he

BYUHgrad

Apr 19, 2:11pm

Pope actually under played Saunders last year in my opinion.

HeyU

Apr 19, 2:31pm

Agree, total head scratcher that Knell got more minutes than Saunders last year.

SageOwl

Gonna need NIL contracts out of high school really soon

SingleStrapBackpack

Apr 19, 1:28pm

I love RS but would Kentucky pay that much for him?

BigHouse Coug

Apr 19, 1:33pm

Doesn't BYU alumni have a huge professional network, especially for athletes?

BackPacker

Apr 19, 1:51pm

Saunders' dilemma reminds me of Caleb Lohner's decision

pspcres

Apr 19, 3:32pm

I suspect the legacy and alumni network taking care of someone are less value

cwilke1

Apr 19, 4:51pm

on a counterpoint, the top elite recruits aren't flocking to Pope at UK right

cwilke1

Apr 19, 4:48pm

Thought foreign students couldn’t get nil?

claw

Apr 19, 2:16pm

they can - it's just more complicated

VinnyBYU

Apr 19, 2:50pm

I don't think so. They would have to have a Work Visa. It was discussed pretty extensively on Big 12 radio yesterday.

Swag Kazekage

Apr 19, 5:08pm

this professor makes some distinction about passive vs. active NIL. not sure

cwilke1

Apr 19, 5:35pm

I'm not believing Saunders is seriously considering Kentucky

aaronmania

Apr 19, 2:40pm

I can tell you with 100% certainty he is

VinnyBYU

Apr 19, 2:50pm

then he should go. make up your mind and do whatever you want

airbug

Apr 19, 3:27pm

UK's NIL is HUGE! I fault Saunders in no way if he is "considering" UK.

BYUHgrad

Apr 19, 2:53pm

I'd like 300k a year too.

rockyrd

Apr 19, 3:00pm

So Khalifa is now on a work visa?

Les IsMore

Apr 19, 3:02pm

Yeah, Khalifa is ineligible to receive NIL so I doubt the OP is accurate.

We’re witnessing the death of college sports. Thank you federal government

FWIW, I don't think you are a stalker.

PumaFanatico

Point taken - I shouldn’t have used that phrase.

VinnyBYU

Apr 19, 5:58pm

You're not a stalker, Next time listen to his conversation.

baldcoug74

Apr 19, 6:10pm

Nothing would mess up Saunders pro path more than going to UK and not playing.

txcougar

Apr 19, 4:58pm

It's possible Popey just wants him to serve as the token "fanatical effort" guy, and that he's only used as

CLCougar

Apr 19, 5:09pm

All of the money for coach means nothing if we continue to lose nil wars

chirocoug

Apr 19, 5:24pm

I disagree. I think Saunders could play meaningful minutes anywhere he goes.

rcampbell

Apr 19, 8:26pm

I love Saunders and want both back!

VinnyBYU

Apr 19, 8:42pm

Yes but not as a starter at UK. Pope never started Richie even though he was

Forzaitalia

Apr 19, 9:03pm

I don’t see Saunders as a starter next year. Jax comes back or I’m hoping we get

If I can make 2x at UK for 1YR and then get dropped in YR2, I’ll make that trade
